Swedish reachstacker deal

The order, the first of its kind in Sweden, includes training for maintenance technicians and operators, and an option for two further reachstackers.

The Port of Helsingborg handles approximately 275,000 teu via sea and about 25,000 teu via rail each year. Increasing volumes of containers and demand for logistics services is seeing the port building a new terminal, scheduled for completion in 2028.

“We will sustainably develop the new container terminal with automation, electrification, and efficient land use,” said Bart Steijaert, chief executive, Port of Helsingborg.

“Investing in the electric reachstackers is an important step in our journey,” he added.

The new Kalmar Electric Reachstacker has a wheelbase of 6.5 metres, a stacking capability up to 5 high, a maximum lifting capacity of 45 – 32 – 16 in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows respectively and a battery capacity of 587 kWh. It will join an equipment fleet that already features three Kalmar Eco Reachstackers.

The order was booked in Cargotec’s Q2 2022 intake, with delivery scheduled for the end of Q4 2022.
